| Try getting your hands on some LOC (Amway). It works really well on
removing sticker residue of off glass, so I assume that it would work
on clothing as well.

| 1116.2 | No success, just careful checking | JAWS::TRIPP | | Wed Aug 28 1991 11:35 | 13 |
| I've heard that an ice cube placed on the *other* side of the sticky
stuff, and when it's hard is "supposed" to be scraped or flaked off.
My success, however has been nil. I've just had to start being
*extremely* aware of when he comes home with a sticker on his shirt,
and retracing steps by checking shirts again as they actually go into
the washer.
For me, any ideas of how to get Elmer's school glue residue off a white
tee shirt? So far nothing has worked from bleach in the water, to
hot and cold water.

| 1116.3 | Lestoil works for me | CTHQ3::SANDSTROM | born of the stars | Wed Aug 28 1991 12:00 | 8 |
| If the fabric is washable and colorfast you can use Lestoil.
I've used it successfully in the past to remove sticky residue
from my own clothes after they've been through the washer and
the dryer. Just pour some on the sticky area and let it sit
for a while (I just keep that item for the last load of laundry).
If there's no nap you can scrub it a little to remove some of
the sticky material before you through it in the wash again.

| Other products you might try are De-Solv-It, a citrus-based product,
and "Oops", primarily sold as a latex paint remover but very effective
at removing spots and residue from many different kinds of surfaces.
Both can be found in hardware stores.

| 1116.5 | GOO BE GONE | GRANPA::LIROBERTS | | Wed Aug 28 1991 15:22 | 12 |
| My mother in law got some great stuff at the hardware store. It's
called Goo be gone...We were at their house last Sunday and went for a
walk and were collecting pine cones. When we got back to the house, we
had sap all over us. Just a few drops of the stuff and it was gone.
She has also used it to get stickers off of glass jars. You know the
kind that you soak for days, and they still don't come off.
Good luck!!!

Another vote for Goo-Be-Gone. I washed and dried my son's tee shirt
with a sticker on it and the glue looked permanent. My mom got it off
in just a few seconds with Goo-Be-Gone. No stain either.
